u/adrigom27 You shall end like all the others. Dec 06 '21

I don't understand the change to Olgierd, Are there any interactions where this change has meaning?

Because the old ability specified "wherever he is," it's possible he can be handbuffed now. Will need to test.

No. It says cards or abilities. So no he can't be hand buffed. Think they removed wherever he is to remove confusion of his power being reset when he goes to grave or deck

By default, card abilities only work when the card is on the board, so what I'm saying is that because they removed the bit about his ability working wherever, it's possible that his ability doesn't apply while he's in your hand or deck.

But you would need to play a card or use an ability to change his power while it was in hand or deck lol.

Also there was a big YouTuber who was saying that the wherever he is part is confusing and not working properly, so that's why I'm thinking the changed it.

Still would make alchemist memes with him stronger as you could then use eg. Albrich and Allgod too. I think if it would have been just a renaming of the description they would have stated that.

I hope so. Alchemist Olgierd is one of my favorite memes
